reason_n humble_o offer_v by_o the_o company_n of_o glass_n and_o earthen_a ware_n seller_n in_o answer_n to_o the_o pot-makers_n print_a reason_n for_o their_o bill_n now_o depend_v in_o this_o honourable_a house_n the_o first_o of_o their_o print_a reason_n be_v 1._o that_o the_o manufacture_n of_o earthen_a ware_n be_v of_o general_a use_n in_o private_a family_n of_o all_o condition_n and_o of_o absolute_a necessity_n in_o divers_a trade_n and_o profession_n sufficient_a quantity_n whereof_o be_v and_o with_o ease_n may_v be_v make_v at_o home_n for_o supply_v of_o the_o whole_a nation_n in_o all_o respect_n as_o good_a as_o any_o import_v the_o same_o have_v be_v full_o demonstrate_v to_o the_o late_a king_n charles_n and_o king_n james_n the_o second_o who_o in_o testimony_n of_o their_o satisfaction_n therein_o issue_v out_o their_o several_a proclamation_n for_o the_o better_a put_v the_o statute_n against_o the_o importation_n of_o such_o foreign_a ware_n in_o execution_n answer_n they_o never_o do_v neither_o can_v they_o make_v such_o paint_a earthen_a ware_n as_o be_v import_v and_o the_o proclamation_n they_o mention_v be_v clandestine_o get_v and_o the_o first_o of_o they_o be_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o dutch_a war_n without_o any_o notice_n give_v to_o the_o say_a company_n of_o glass_n and_o earthen_a ware_n seller_n and_o the_o act_n they_o mention_v do_v not_o take_v notice_n of_o earthen_a ware_n ii_o that_o the_o say_a manufacture_n be_v whole_o make_v of_o english_a material_n great_a quantity_n of_o tin_n lead_v day_n and_o kelpe_v to_o a_o considerable_a value_n be_v therein_o yearly_o use_v and_o if_o the_o same_o be_v due_o encourage_v a_o much_o great_a consumption_n will_v be_v have_v the_o say_a art_n be_v improve_v and_o the_o exportation_n and_o vent_n thereof_o in_o foreign_a part_n be_v promoted_n answer_n far_o great_a quantity_n than_o be_v or_o can_v be_v here_o consume_v of_o the_o say_a material_n be_v export_v to_o holland_n germany_n spain_n portugal_n italy_n turkey_n genoa_n persia_n and_o the_o east_n indies_n to_o make_v the_o say_a ware_n so_o desire_v to_o be_v prohibit_v note_v the_o say_v material_n do_v pay_v custom_n both_o at_o their_o exportation_n and_o importation_n and_o all_o earthen_a ware_n now_o import_v pay_n four_o shilling_n in_o the_o pound_n and_o all_o such_o ware_n have_v constant_o be_v rate_v in_o the_o book_n of_o rate_n and_o never_o pretend_v to_o be_v prohibit_v till_o within_o these_o twenty_o year_n by_o the_o say_a proclamation_n so_o surreptitious_o get_v iii_o that_o the_o say_a trade_n can_v be_v manage_v without_o great_a number_n of_o artificer_n and_o labourer_n so_o as_o several_a hundred_o of_o poor_a family_n do_v whole_o depend_v thereon_o beside_o the_o several_a tradesman_n as_o bricklayer_n mason_n mill-wrights_n cooper_n smith_n waterman_n bargeman_n etc._n etc._n who_o be_v frequent_o employ_v in_o matter_n relate_v thereto_o to_o so_o great_a a_o degree_n that_o a_o full_a moiety_n of_o what_o the_o good_n be_v sell_v for_o be_v pay_v and_o expend_v by_o the_o master_n for_o labour_n answer_n there_o be_v but_o six_o or_o seven_o of_o the_o say_v pot-makers_n in_o england_n who_o may_v employ_v fifty_o family_n or_o thereabouts_o several_a of_o the_o artificer_n they_o mention_v as_o bricklayer_n mason_n etc._n etc._n be_v but_o very_o seldom_o employ_v and_o that_o only_a in_o the_o building_n and_o repair_v of_o their_o kilnes_n which_o be_v not_o twenty_o in_o the_o whole_a and_o the_o profit_n thereof_o to_o the_o person_n so_o seldom_o employ_v can_v be_v but_o very_o inconsiderable_a and_o they_o but_o few_o in_o number_n whereas_o there_o be_v several_a hundred_o of_o family_n maintain_v in_o the_o deal_v and_o retail_v of_o foreign_a and_o inland_a earthen_a ware_n who_o this_o bill_n if_o it_o shall_v pass_v will_v utter_o ruin_n iv_o that_o so_o great_a quantity_n of_o foreign_a ware_n be_v now_o on_o divers_a pretext_n import_v that_o unless_o a_o more_o effectual_a prohibition_n be_v establish_v the_o consumption_n of_o the_o say_v english_a material_n will_v cease_v the_o poor_a be_v unemployed_a and_o the_o say_a manufacture_n be_v total_o lose_v and_o foreigner_n thereby_o enable_v to_o set_v what_o price_n they_o please_v on_o the_o say_a commodity_n answer_n that_o very_o little_a or_o no_o foreign_a or_o earthen_a ware_n be_v import_v which_o they_o do_v or_o can_v make_v here_o but_o chief_o china_n and_o persia_n earthen_a ware_n and_o melt_v pot_n though_o some_o have_v have_v patent_n for_o the_o sole_a make_v fine_a earthen_a ware_n here_o after_o the_o manner_n of_o holland_n and_o have_v have_v all_o encouragement_n imaginable_a from_o the_o say_a company_n of_o glass_n seller_n and_o other_o but_o can_v never_o make_v such_o ware_n or_o tile_n for_o chimney_n and_o therefore_o can_v hinder_v the_o consumption_n of_o such_o earthen_a ware_n as_o be_v make_v here_o but_o the_o import_v of_o foreign_a earthen_a ware_n have_v be_v a_o great_a example_n to_o the_o very_a pot-maker_n themselves_o by_o make_v their_o ware_n after_o foreign_a pattern_n to_o their_o great_a interest_n observe_v that_o if_o the_o say_a bill_n shall_v pass_v it_o will_v be_v very_o prejudicial_a to_o the_o nation_n in_o general_n for_o these_o reason_n viz._n i._o it_o will_v give_v the_o say_v pot-makers_n a_o opportunity_n of_o set_v what_o high_a prize_n they_o please_v on_o their_o commodity_n which_o they_o already_o threaten_v to_o do_v in_o case_n the_o bill_n shall_v pass_v and_o have_v former_o do_v the_o same_o upon_o the_o first_o put_v out_o of_o the_o say_a proclamation_n ii_o it_o will_v lessen_v his_o majesty_n custom_n for_o most_o of_o the_o material_n of_o which_o the_o say_v commodity_n be_v make_v be_v have_v from_o hence_o and_o pay_v custom_n both_o at_o the_o exportation_n and_o importation_n and_o at_o the_o latter_a it_o pay_v four_o shilling_n in_o the_o pound_n by_o act_n of_o parliament_n iii_o the_o say_v ware_n have_v be_v constant_o rate_v in_o the_o book_n of_o rate_n and_o never_o prohibit_v till_o by_o the_o first_o proclamation_n which_o be_v clandestine_o obtain_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o dutch_a war_n and_o by_o virtue_n of_o that_o the_o prize_n of_o all_o earthen_a ware_n be_v here_o very_o much_o enhance_v iv_o it_o will_v be_v a_o great_a prejudice_n to_o the_o mint_n and_o to_o all_o silver_n smith_n chemist_n and_o other_o who_o use_n crucibles_n and_o melt_a pot_n the_o same_o be_v import_v from_o abroad_o and_o can_v be_v make_v here_o v._o it_o will_v hinder_v the_o export_n of_o several_a thousand_o pound_n a_o year_n of_o our_o english_a commodity_n which_o will_v never_o be_v sell_v be_v it_o not_o in_o barter_n for_o foreign_a earthen_a ware_n note_v this_o bill_n prohibit_v the_o importation_n of_o china_n and_o all_o other_o curious_a earthen_a ware_n which_o can_v never_o be_v make_v here_o all_o which_o be_v humble_o submit_v to_o this_o honourable_a house_n and_o it_o be_v hope_v for_o the_o reason_n before_o mention_v that_o the_o say_a bill_n will_v not_o be_v suffer_v to_o pass_v reason_n against_o the_o bill_n for_o prevent_v the_o importation_n of_o foreign_a earthen_a ware_n
